We really liked this property and would stay again. The courtyard is beautiful and is the perfect place to have your own happy hour. It is shady and quiet and a nice getaway from the hustle of the French Quarter. We normally stay on Bourbon Street but don’t really feel the need to. Is in walking distance to everything. The only thing I could complain about is the maid left clean towels and made the bed every day but didn’t clean floors and bathroom sink. Also the coffee make didn’t work properly when we need it most when leaving when we had to get up at 4::30 for an early flight home. The staff and everyone working at hotel was nice.

Booked an awesome package through Expedia for a no window room. We were literally 3 feet from the elevator so it was very loud with people coming and going as the walls are thin. Also there was construction one day with power tools which was not fun to wake up to. The hotel itself and service was wonderful. Bring water to your room, there isn’t any besides in the pool house which you have to walk outside to get to.

This was a beautiful hotel with lots of character. The courtyard was lovely and really made us feel the New Orleans history. It was so close to everything we wanted to do, so we could swing back by between outings. It was perfect! Would definitely stay there again!

This was a wonderful Inn to stay at. It was in the center of it all and perfect for me and my daughter. The only thing I would mention is that because our inside room was directly beside the linen closet, the noise from staff was sometimes crazy very early in the morning. Lots of banging and radio chatter. However, next time I will upgrade and cray upstairs with a balcony. :) lovely place!!
